Loudoun is over 90% including all of early vote and mail
Above the 60-40 margin needed for a comfortable Yes win
Will take a while for an official call
But this looks like a redo of the 2025 AG race
Shy Yes voters were a thing
Weekends are usually the best for Dems
Yesterday was biggest first day of Saturday early voting in a Virginia state election
Only Presidential elections have been higher
Expect something similar next Saturday
But obviously don’t know how people are voting so some caution
Love his collaboration with mark william Lewis
A much-hyped double album finds the two reveling in a mutual influence that has bloomed for a decade, shaping a scene in the process. n.pr/48wpspN
Governor Spanberger vetoes a proposed referendum for a casino in Fairfax County
First big break between Governor and Dem leaders in General Assembly
State Senate majority Scott Surovell in particular had been a big proponent
But the casino proposal is controversial in the area
Love having to rely on polling to make sure my vote counts
👀 State Senator Saddam Salim could be the latest entry into the new proposed VA-7
Shaping up to be a crowded primary
But first the Redistricting referendum has to pass…
James Talarico looks on his way to winning the Dem nomination for Texas Senate without a runoff
The GOP race likely going to runoff between incumbent John Cornyn and Ken Paxton
Boosts Dems as they try to overcome long odds to take back Senate
I think cooney out resist libs Helmer from any money too and gets the normie vote helmer and her needs beyond his district
Wise I would wait for a very strong progressive outsider to vote for
lol this is like the perfect circumstances for a progressive firebrand outsider to win
🚨🚨🚨Virginia Supreme Court lays out schedule for redistricting case
Allows the April 21 referendum to go forward with early voting starting March 6
BUT seems to leave open possibility of final ruling after referendum
This goes back to very limited relief lower court granted
It’s open? So unsure who’s gonna be out of their seat, because Beyer and James seems to be clearly in the safe by the legislature
Any comment on what seat helmer will take? Are they putting Suhas and him against each other? If anything it should be Vindman
I want to see Beyer primaried but I might just be out of his district after this lol
Looks like dems in montana have their own osborn. MT Dems should endorse the independent and not field a candidate
Federal Fallout pod is back with a new episode
The long shadow of the 2025 Virginia elections in 2026
Redistricting will get a lot of the attention
But Dems are going to do a lot else with their trifecta
3 more constitutional amendments and regular bills too

The scale of the protests in Iran are absolutely unbelievable. Hard to quantify, but I've seen some speculation that this uprising is more significant than the 2023 protests (themselves the largest challenge to the regime since it came into power in '79.)

There will be a rematch of the 2021 primary between Elizabeth Bennett-Parker and Mark Levine
Bennett-Parker knocked off Levine in a House of Delegates primary to become a delegate
Now they will face off again in a firehouse primary in SD-39 for a State Senate seat
They’re over adjusting I guess after they missed in a midterm year. If they are letting loose I imagine it so they could regain their legitimacy in presidential years because they can point to an example where they overestimated democrats instead of reps in non presidential years like they have
They’re not losing it in the next two cycles and she’s wrong she doesn’t even see the maps
Idk the political trends in opposition to Trump took time to acclimate to treating all republicans for being pro Trump when they’re usually voted for them massively
Yeah but by bio and electoral history he’s not really a serious recruited candidate by any means
I think swing voters in midterms are gonna be way more partisan now even in a 2018 environment he would lose
I meant he’s a way better candidate than Garcia was anyway
Yeah but that’s downballot lag more than anything. Republicans held smaller statewide offices and dominate it
Arizonas hate of Trump is very much a 2020 onwards mix of political issues and policies/rhetoric Ducey isn’t associated with that and Arizona didn’t see him as part of the new gop because he didn’t start out in it. With Trump in office Nevada voters are gonna reckon with his veto power
Aaron ford is a way better candidate and Nevada isn’t politically Republican as Arizona historically and dem holdouts in bad midterm years has shown their resilience
Yeah but he wasn’t hated and it was stable approvals
